You will have to excuse Hilda as she's been swamped with all kinds of work. One of her biggest projects has been helping a new member of the household get settled in and adapt to her new family.

Since Hilda's last entry we've taken in another Maine Coon Cat named Charlotte.

Charlotte's story is a sad one, she being abandoned by her family when the bank foreclosed on their home. Charlotte wasn't the only animal abandoned at the house, there also being two dogs and two horses left behind. It wasn't until a friend of ours, a real estate agent out towards the New Hampshire seacoast, was hired by the bank to sell the home. She found Charlotte when she went into the house to prepare it for listing. Our friend doesn't know how long she and the others were left alone.

It's been a long (and still ongoing) process to re-socialize Charlotte. We'll keep you up to date on her progress.

About Miss Hilda

Hilda is a bit shy, but that's just part of who she is. Though her given name is Hilda, most of the residents in the home where she resides address her as Miss-Miss.

She has a proud heritage, being a Maine Coon Cat. She was adopted from the local Humane Society shelter. Despite her origins, she carries herself as a dainty lady, and rightfully so.

As is often said about her: "She's very fluffy!"

She decided to start this blog in response to disparaging remarks made by another of the feline residents, one Bagheera by name. She figured she had her own opinions and point of view, something she would use to deflect the curmudgeonly scribblings of the aforementioned Bagheera.
